We just returned from an amazing weekend at the Texas Book Festival in
Austin, TX. Here I am meeting festival goers and signing books in the
Texas A&M University Press tent. Words can barely express how deeply
fulfilling the experience of having my photography book Marfa Flights
published by Texas A&M University Press. This is a dream come true!
Then, to have a big exhibition of my work at the same time at the Museum
of the Big Bend is immensely satisfying. On top of that, being selected
to be a featured TXBookFest author and speak with Griff and Stephanie
is icing on the cake! So wonderful to share these moments with my wife
Cyndi. We both have enjoyed meeting many quality people on this journey,
and this weekend that includes Griff Smith, Stephanie Barko, C.M. Mayo
and many fellow authors and TXBookFest organizers and volunteers. What
an amazing time! Thanks to everyone who made it possible. Now we prepare
for my presentation at the Center for Big Bend Studies Annual
Conference and planning the next project. Center for Big Bend Studies Annual Conference Program More soon…
